Seems reasonable, just keep in mind you are creeping up on about half the price of full rollers. People aren't going to spend too much and still have stock rockers.

Not too bad for having included upgraded trunions.

Are these just bolt on and go? No need to change pushrod length?

This is an OEM supplier manufacturing the rocker arms and then installing an aftermarket trunion, or is/will this be an OEM GM item? I'd like to know who makes them, quality and comparison to stockers with the Comp upgrade before purchasing. I'd be more than willing to buy a set after learning more about them. Thanks.

So are you saying stockers are unreliable? I was under the impression that it was very very limited cases of stock rockers failing.

Is there anything "HD" about the rocker body itself? (material, cross-section) or is the improvement just in the bearing area?

Thanks

I realize that this question was not addressed to me, but wanted to add my experience. Have had a rocker arm needle bearing retainer pop off on my stock rockers while using a med-high lift cam w/ heavier dual springs. When the retainer pops off, the needle bearings come out & get into the heads & oil pan. I have a different solution to the problem. However, the best solution is offered in the aftermarket trunnion upgrade offered here, from the sponsor & by other sponsors. IMO, the problem is few & far between only when relating the problem to stock lift/spring rate cams. Higher lift/heavier spring cams are more susceptible to the problem.

Do you offer any type of trade in on the stock rockers?
